Description Another Photoshop sketch

I've found that the images I try to draw based on skeleton photographs have the greatest accuracy in terms of perspective, the only problem is that the forced perspective tends to make the dinosaurs look sort of... funny?
Anyways, here's a more standard "textbook-style" image.

Photoshop sketch??? great work! I'm biased to Dilos, since they are among my fav dinos. Anyway, you have a tremendous gallery... Wish I could sketch so naturally and beliable as you!!! I'll do several VERY minor comments...

The specific name of Dilophosaurus is D. wetherilli (also take into account that the specific epithet (wetherilli in this case) never goes with capitals).
Dilophosaurs are among the most primitive theropods (some included them among the Ceratosauria, at the level of the Coelophysoidea... but recent works separate the Coelophysoidea from the rest of ceratosaurians (Ceratosaurus and Abelisauria), and they had four fingers in their hands, not three (three or less is the number of fingers that you found in the Tetanurae, as Raptors, rexes, Allosauridae, Carcharodontosauridae, etc). I think that the fingers you made to this Dilo are a little bit longer than the ones of the fossils, but I'm not sure about that.

Anyway, FANTASTIC WORK!!! goes to my favs!!!
